1787 Fugio Cent - Raised Rims

Coin Details

Description

A Fugio cent variety with raised (or high) rims on both obverse and reverse. The raised rims result from a different collar or striking configuration compared to the more common flat-rim issues. The obverse shows the standard sundial with "FUGIO" and "Mind Your Business" legends, while the reverse displays the 13 chain links and "We Are One" motto. Raised rim varieties are among the more distinctive Fugio cent types.

Rarity Notes
